I'm hoping people can highlight the positives of which they want. Vx FO bidding 75% ish and work 12 days a month. If I need four particular days off in a month there is almost no way I won't get it. You can decide what mix of trips you feel like flying... you always have the potential of getting a dream schedule. Also, our schedules are posted by the 10th. I'm hoping we get something like this as far as scheduling goes
#1. The way pairings are assigned to you (lines vs PBS) has zero impact on your # of days off and credit. The company decides how much credit you will have to work for the month, and the efficiency of the pairings dictates your # of days off.
#2. We at Virgin will almost definitely end up with less efficient trips when we start flying more shorter segments in the Alaska system.
#3. If we want to keep the credit up and thus our high number of days off, the only way to do that is with trip and duty rigs.
#4. Publicly stating on a message board that management can read, that you are trying to SELL PBS to your coworkers undercuts our negotiators.
#5. The appropriate way to have this discussion is directly with your reps or via confidential polling.
